Silhouette Soldiers

#SilhouetteSoldiers is a grass-roots project to return First World War servicemen and women to the streets of Ripon.

At its height, Ripon hosted over 30,000 soldiers. This dwarfed the size of the city itself, which was home to around 10,000 people at the time.

The project has been overseen by Joe Priestley, Heritage Learning Officer, alongside Dan Metcalfe. The designs have been created by Jeanne Mundy, digitised by Joe Priestley and produced by Econ Engineering.
